Endoscopic retrieval bag - a minimally traumatic tool for removing foreign bodies and polyps
When endoscopically removing objects , it is important that the surgeon not only be able to grasp bodies of various sizes and shapes with the instrument, but also carefully remove them. Slippage of a foreign body is a particular danger, as it complicates visualization and repeated access to the object, prolongs the duration of the endoscopic intervention and its traumatism.
The retrieval bag has a special design that allows for the removal of various bodies without the risk of complications. Its parts:
- The ergonomic handle makes the tool easy to use and control.
- Strong loop.
- A bag that does not stick together during use due to the hardness of the loop.
В багатьох випадках хірурги віддають перевагу саме петлі з сумкою для ендоскопії, тому що цим інструментом можна вилучити навіть декілька предметів протягом однієї процедури.
A loop with an endoscopic resection bag is used to remove polyps in the gastrointestinal tract; this method is safe for the patient and reduces the risk of bleeding.
Additional advantages of the tool:

- The flexibility of the bag (suitable for items of different shapes and volumes).
- Safe extraction of sharp-edged bodies thanks to their isolation.

Disposable snare with a bag - main advantages
Polyps can be removed in different ways - using loops, scissors, or forceps. A loop instrument allows you to quickly cut off a large formation at its base and remove it from the gastrointestinal tract using a bag. This method does not damage the walls and mucous membranes of the stomach or intestines, as well as the polyp tissue.
